Woman trapped under Haiti rubble sends SMS

A Canadian woman trapped under rubble after the recent earthquake in Haiti managed to send out a text message to the Foreign Affairs Department in Ottawa, a place nearly 3,000 miles away. And it saved her life, reports Gizmodo.

Once received, the text message was "relayed to Canadian diplomats back in Haiti" who then provided aid in the search for the woman.
